In the measurement world, we set a goal and strive to achieve it. In the universe of possibility, we set the context and let life unfold. ~B. Zander The Founding Fathers of America didn’t create the “Intention of Independence”, the “Wouldn’t it be nice if there was Independence” or the “I sure hope that one day there will be Independence.” They created the “Declaration of Independence,” and thus a new world was born. Stronger than setting an intention to be... Read more
If this journal could talk, I bet I know what it would say, “How mysterious the events are that unfold for me each day” I never have a clue about what each new page will behold, Or what roller-coaster adventure is about to unfold. This book is sacred; it’s the story of my life; Puzzle pieces of my heart and soul; all the joys and strife. In these torn and tattered pages, with coffee stains inside; Is where all the... Read more

Back in 1995 I was sweet-talked by my then boyfriend into seeing the movie Strange Days, a sci-fi flick (directed by James Cameron, produced by Kathryn Bigelow, staring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Lewis.) I’m not a big sci-fi fan…more the chick-flick type…but I must admit this movie left it’s mark and has As I peeled myself off the walls of the movie theatre and made my exit, I fantasized about how incredible it would be if a technology like that actually existed…and how it could (radical thought) be used...

Dreaming tribes like the Iroquois of North America, Aborigines of Australia, and the Senoi of Malaysia, believe that your dream is a gift not only for you…but for your entire tribe. In this way, these cultures truly live the philosophy, “As one is lifted, all are lifted.” When you share your dream with your dream buddy, your dream group, or someone in your life with ears to hear, you are sharing a soul-filled gift. Remember, dreams are the language of... Read more
While remaining on that bridge between sleep and awake your dream wisdom can come shining through like morning sun filtering through your bedroom drapes. Can you stand comfortably on the bridge between worlds and honor both realities as equally valid and true? Once you are complete with writing your dream(s) in your dream journal, spend a few minutes meditating and marinating on the feeling tone or the energy of the dream.

Just as in stage three you explored the refusal of the call, in this stage you get to deal with the refusal of the return. Many heroes stop (or pause for an indefinite amount of time) at this stage because they figure they’ve been through enough. They really don’t have to remember their dreams and bring them full circle. Warm and cozy in their toasty bed in the early morning hours, as the sun is gently filtering its warmth into... Read more
Ok, now the moment you’ve been waiting for…the moment you’ve worked so hard for…the moment you can finally exhale. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You have faced, embraced, aced, and replaced your deepest fear in the Supreme Ordeal so you can now claim your disowned power. You did this by asking your fear, “What gift do you have for me?” “What is your good intent?” or even “Why are you chasing me?” By doing this you have allowed what you thought was going to...

You might be saying, “When does this Hero’s Dream Journey get fun?” Don’t worry…the reward is right around the corner…but first…you must Face, Embrace, Ace, and Replace the energy you most deeply F.E.A.R. As you do this you’ll transform this energy that drains your life force into that which enlivens, awakens, and puts a gale force beneath your wings. Even if you don’t transform your dream creature from the black lagoon into Mary Poppins, at the very least, you will... Read more
It could be said that the underlying purpose of our dreams is to regain our power and help us grow into enlightened, awakened versions of ourselves—while here on earth. If this is true then the optimum environment for growth is a perfect storm comprised of challenges, rest, and opportunities to demonstrate our new skills. If we have too much dissonance we become weak; too much softness we become complacent. Lucky for us, our dreams provide us with that perfect storm.... Read more
